Lesson Summary:
In this video, Naomi and Rick explain how to find the equation of a line when given two points. They use the slope formula and point-slope form to derive the equation, making sure to simplify fractions along the way. The final equation is in slope-intercept form, which is ideal for practical use.
Lesson Description:
This video is on finding the equation of a line given 2 points. Both the slope formula and point-slope form are used in the process. Also, there are fractions in this one. :)

Staff Review
This lesson is a great introduction to finding slope between two points and then using point-slope form to find the equation of the line between the points. All steps involved with finding slope and plugging the points and the slope into the point-slope equation are shown and explained. -
